'This volume is a sumptuous feast of scholarly riches and aesthetic delights … Walford achieves remarkable fidelity to the sense of the original text as he adroitly brings Kant's complex conjunction of concepts, dry wit, and 'voice' into clear, readable English. Readers familiar with Kant in the original will also enjoy Walford's consistently clever and stylistically polished solutions to the frequently knotty problems of translating Kant's academic German. And scholars who have puzzled over the meaning of particular words or phrases will find Walford's extensive notes richly instructive. Simply in terms of a project of translation, the volume is an impressive achievement.' Canadian Philosophical Review
